Bradley: devotional poetry

Tuesday, February 3, 2026
    Feast of Anskar, Archbishop of Hamburg, Missionary to Denmark and Sweden, 865
Meditation:
    Praise our God, O peoples,
        let the sound of his praise be heard;
    he has preserved our lives
        and kept our feet from slipping.
    —Psalm 66:8-9 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Devotional poetry... has to do with devotedness, with trust merged into faith, with love’s steadfastness. It finds men’s worthwhileness deep laid in relationship to God’s worthwhileness, and this devotion is expressed in communication. It finds this world precious insofar as it... symbolizes God’s love and therefore it runs counter to our national sin of distrust in God. (And yet, how can we trust Him without knowing and living unto Him and loving Him?)
    ... Samuel Bradley
    See also Ps. 66:8-9; Rom. 9:33; 15:13; Col. 3:3-4
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, lead me to live unto You.
